Quick travel to save a miserable life
Chapter 66 The bride-to-be (24)
Lin Hui was not too worried about Mr. Lin's visit to the county government.
The Lin family has been operating here for many years. In addition to the county magistrate and master, the other subordinates, catchers, etc. are all old households in the county. They are natives of the township. They are familiar with the Lin family and have frequent contacts with them on weekdays. .
It is said that the Lin family is just trying to find out the facts of the case as the victims. Even if the Lin family becomes the defendant, as long as no human life is involved, it will not matter much if there is money to clear the way.
Fortunately, the Lin family has always been virtuous and good, and has never committed any crimes. Not only the masters of the Lin family, but also the servants rarely do evil.
Although the Lin family's shop is not the largest in the county, it has the best reputation. It has never deceived customers and passed off inferior products as good ones.
The Lin family's village also has the lowest rent among all the big families, and it will reduce the rent in bad years. Therefore, it has a good reputation among the people, and many people are rushing to farm the land of the Lin family.
The Lin family's move was partly due to family tradition, and partly because they had few heirs. They wanted to do good deeds and accumulate more blessings, which would benefit their descendants.
If it weren't for the two evil men Wang Youcai and Li Gu who later appeared and deliberately plotted to kill the Lin family, the Lin family would have been able to go further.
However, now that Lin Hui has come and replaced the original owner, not only has Master Lin and Lin Hui escaped from the bad luck of being killed, and the Lin family's property has been saved, it will also make the Lin family prosperous.
Because she got up early today, Lin Hui was about to go back to her room to rest after dinner, but she didn't expect that someone suddenly jumped out from the roadside halfway.
Fortunately, there were people blocking Lin Hui's body in front and behind, so that she would not be frightened. When she took a closer look, she turned out to be Li Gu's cousin Wen.
Wen Cuicui went to bed early last night, so she was unaware of Li Guda's commotion at night.
Early this morning, she first listened to the discussion from the servants in the same courtyard, saying that her uncle suddenly fell ill last night and not only invited a doctor to come over, but also invited Doctor Lin to come to the house this morning, so his condition must be serious.
As soon as she heard the news, she was confused. This cousin was fine the day before yesterday. Why did he suddenly become ill? She didn't know what the illness was and whether it was serious.
She finished her breakfast with no appetite, and was thinking about sneaking into her cousin's yard to visit her cousin later when the grandma in charge wasn't paying attention. Then she heard another piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue: Cousin was still sick. My brother was taken away by officials!
She was so confused that she ignored her grandma's warning and secretly came out of the courtyard. She waited on the road leading to the inner and outer courtyards, intending to find Lin Hui and ask what happened.
"Cousin... er, eldest lady, what happened to my cousin? Isn't he ill? Why did he let the official take him away?" Wen Cuicui rushed to Lin Hui and asked. As soon as the words came out, she couldn't help but eyes filled with tears.
Lin Hui looked at her face that became more and more pitiful due to her tears, and sighed in her heart, what a pity for such a good appearance!
The Wen family was ignorant and vicious. She knew that Li Gu's plan would harm Lin Hui and Lin Hui's children, but she still cooperated wholeheartedly, even selling herself as a slave. It can be seen that she was dazzled by the wealth of the Lin family. He even agreed to such a foolish move.
Lin Hui didn't want to talk to her anymore, so she didn't answer. She just asked the secretary to call her nanny and take good care of her.
When Wen saw that Lin Hui was ignoring her, she shouted louder and louder: "Miss, my cousin is your husband and the father of the child in your belly. You can't ignore him!"
Seeing her excitement, if there weren't people around to stop her, she might have pounced on her to question her.
When Lin Hui saw that she was speechless, she stared at Wen's huge belly and replied: "He is not just the father of the child in my belly!" After saying that, he led the people back to the yard.
Wen Cuicui stood stunned on the spot, even forgetting to resist when her grandma took her back. Thinking that Lin Hui had been staring at her belly just now, and her words meant something, did she know something?
Returning to the small room where she lived alone, the door was simply locked by her grandma from the outside. Wen Cuicui sat on the bed blankly, thinking about Lin Hui's words and expression just now, while stroking her belly and murmuring: " No, no, she won’t know, and my cousin will be fine!”
These are just Wen Cuicui's self-comforts. Now that she has entered the county government, the people in the execution room have many ways to make people tell the truth.
Poor Li Gu was only able to speak after he was healed, so he was brought to the county government for questioning.
With all his thoughts, he was no match for the old officials in the torture chamber. After many inquiries, he revealed his flaws.
Once an opening was opened, it was much easier to ask further questions, but within an hour, he had told everything about what he had done.
It turns out that Li Gu frequently went out to have private meetings with Wen Cuicui, and was noticed by the shrewd housekeeper Wang, who took advantage of him.
At that time, he was panicking and couldn't help but have the idea of bribing Steward Wang. However, he was just a son-in-law. He was considered a master in the Lin Mansion. His power, prestige and even the money at his disposal were far inferior to that of the great steward Wang Youcai. , what did he use to buy it?
Just when he was despairing, Butler Wang gave him hope, saying that Mr. Li was originally a dragon or a phoenix among men, but as a son-in-law, he was under the control of the Lin family's father and daughter and was not allowed to be free. Only people like Mr. Li could be the head of the Lin family. It’s only appropriate!
At that time, both Lin Hui and Wen Cuicui were pregnant. Under the provocation of Butler Wang, he became evil and had the idea of getting rid of the Lin family father and daughter and using his own children to steal the wealth of the Lin family.
As for contacting the robbers and paying the deposit, Butler Wang sent someone to do it, but they went in the name of Li Gu.
The robber was not stupid. He accepted the business happily at the time, but secretly sent someone to follow Steward Wang's servant Erzhu when he returned, and came to Yongning County to make some inquiries.
Only then did we know that Er Zhu was actually taking orders from Butler Wang of the Lin Mansion, so after the robbers were captured, they confessed both Li Gu and Butler Wang. Anyway, they had done enough cases before. Was there this one? In the end, The fate he faced was beheading, so he told the story clearly and without reservation.
Li Gu confessed everything, but Butler Wang refused to speak.
But it was not only Butler Wang who was detained, but also the boy Erzhu.
For Er Zhu, the old official in the torture room would not be so patient, but after using some small torture methods, Er Zhu couldn't bear it anymore, and asked Butler Wang to tell him to contact the robbers, including later buying poison to poison Mr. Lin. Everything has been explained, and there are also some other secret things that Butler Wang has done over the years, all of which have been explained as if they were poured out of a bamboo tube.
After Erzhu finished explaining this, the people in the execution room couldn't help but look at each other. Originally they just wanted to ask about the case of the Lin family's caravan being robbed, but unexpectedly they were chasing rabbits and asked a lot of private matters about the Lin family and Butler Wang.
At the same time, they were also lamenting that Mr. Lin was a rare kind-hearted person. They had never found out anything about the Lin family in these years. They did not expect that such a good person would be ganged up by the family's housekeeper and son-in-law to seek money and harm him. Life!
